This is a truly delightful and “timeless” ring.
Manufactured in 9ct rose gold it has the clear assay mark for Chester.
The overall impression is that of a modern day signet ring, however the upper cartouche is actually a cleverly concealed lid to the inner locket chamber which contains a sample of hair.
These rings are rare to find. More commonplace are mourning rings which usually bear some black enamel or decoration.
Likewise often containing loved one’s hair, however this is perfectly plain, who knows is the hair of someone held in great affection , or someone who had passed away, will
Will never know! But it is entirely genuine and a delightful capture of time.
The ring is size q
The front cartouche is approx 1.5cm
Width approx 1cm
Weighs approx 3.4gms
